Hi!  My name is Melissa Mayer-Heinitz.  I began selling real estate full time at the beginning of 2009. I am not, however, new to the area. I was born and raised right here in Emporia, graduated from Emporia High School, and also attended Emporia State University. My husband, Justin, is also a native Emporian and operates his own carpentry business in the area. My daughter, Dylan, is currently in 2nd Grade at Logan Avenue Elementary.

I love what I do for a living and I hope it shows in my work! I do my very best to treat clients honestly and fairly, and make sure they remain informed and feel a part of the process from beginning to end.  Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you'll make in your life - don't leave that decision to chance!  I won’t tell you just what you want to hear, I will tell you what you need to know to accomplish your main objective.  At the end of the day, I want to know that I provided you with excellent service so you will want to refer me to your friends and neighbors.

Now that you know a bit about me, I would be very pleased to learn a little about you and your family, to discuss the goals you are working toward and to give you an honest, free evaluation of your home, or set up a fully customized home search for you - no strings attached.
